I am wondering how much of the threats to kill the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court are real and how much is bluster to get the Republicans in congress and SCOTUS to partially go along with a lite version of their "progressive" agenda. The judicial appointment filibuster killed by Harry Reid's Senate has turned into a disaster for democrats given the number of federal judges confirmed by Mitch McConnell over the past few years. Certainly killing other filibusters will backfire when the tables turn as they always do. FDR's court packing threat was a message to stop striking down his new deal laws, and SCOTUS did indeed back off to some degree.

Some democrats seem to think that nuking the filibuster to pass the election "reform" bill will give them enough of an advantage to hold the Senate by fixing the 2022 elections, and preventing future Republican majorities, and thus no backfiring will happen. But it's not a sure bet because election reform is going to get a constitutional challenge, and SCOTUS is not likely to allow sweeping changes to the voting system. Roberts is a status quo guy that doesn't want to stick his neck out on anything. So if the democrats lose that, and the push back against their agenda is strong (expected due to Biden's dismal start and the rise in crime), they will lose the House and Senate and then the Republicans can pass anything they want without a filibuster. Big gamble.

A nationally televised event commemorating the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, featuring appearances by Stacey Abrams and singer John Legend, has been canceled just four days before broadcast, with organizers blaming “ unexpected circumstances with entertainers and speakers.”

“Remember & Rise,” which was scheduled for broadcast Monday, was supposed to feature Stacey Abrams delivering a keynote address to a crowd of 6,000 people at the ONEOK Field in Tulsa.

In a statement sent to multiple media outlets, the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission didn’t elaborate on the causes of the sudden cancellation.

President Joe Biden is still scheduled to visit Tulsa on Tuesday to commemorate the centenary of the massacre

what might be the "unexpected circumstances" of the sudden cancellation?

CBS News reported that Monday’s broadcast was canceled after a lawyer representing massacre survivors and their heirs made demands that the organizing commission considered unreasonable. The demands reportedly included $1 million each for survivors of the massacre and a non-negotiable $50 million pledge to a fund for survivors and descendants.

how many survivors are there from 1921 ?

How many cities have we seen black and Antifa rioters burn and loot in the last 10 years ?

I wonder if Biden will visit with the survivors of Wounded Knee or the Tuskegee Experiment.

This is why efforts like this and BLM are all destined to fail...

Things fall apart when it becomes 100% transparent that its not about getting justice, its about gettin' PAID!!

FIFY.

"Getting paid" implies having earned. All they've earned is disdain.

I have to laugh. Now, instead of that sad event in our nation's history being memorialized...

Biden in a mad dash to the bottom of the heap.

During the daily briefing at the White House Monday afternoon, Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about why President Joe Biden failed to commemorate the 77th anniversary of D-Day , which took place on Sunday.

"I can tell you that certainly the, his value for the role the men who served on D-Day and the memory of them, the families who have kept their memories alive over the course of years on this day is something the president has spoke to many times in the past. It's close to his heart and I wouldn't be surprised if there's more we would have to say about it," Psaki said.

xxxxxxxxxx

"wouldn't be surprised" make you feel better ?

Oh, great. Now Biden's got Psaki talking like Biden. Or was that a direct quote?

Here’s the latest dose of racism (racism favoritism) being offered up by the leftist democratic trash. I’m not going to post the garbage but a quick look should make your blood boil.

VP Harris: “We’ve been to the border.”

Holt: “YOU haven’t been to the border.”

VP Harris: “And I haven’t been to Europe.”

complete w giggle

Meanwhile, McAllen TX just elected it's first Republican mayor in decades despite the longstanding presence of a powerful Dem machine. Was illegal immigration and how the city reacts to it an issue? Oh, yes.

Lauren Boebert brings Kamala down to the border to see what’s up.



Kamala on going to the boarder.

Ben Domenech on Bret Baier's show just said that if the veep "had wanted to search for the root of the border problem she could have just stayed at the White House... because that's where it is."

Ben Shapiro:

Nothing is quite as hilarious to Kamala Harris as a question she's unable to answer.

Looks like the government is going to build a lot of stuff in areas that will end up getting burned down or looted again.

This is also the funniest part:

"Additionally, the Biden-Harris Administration is taking on discrimination in home appraisals. A 2018 Brookings study found that homes in majority-Black neighborhoods are often valued at tens of thousands of dollars less than comparable homes in similar—but majority-White—communities. And the crisis is worsening: a recent study found that the gap between the appraised value of homes in predominantly White neighborhoods compared to comparable homes in predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods nearly doubled between 1980 and 2015. The impact of these disparities in home appraisals can be sweeping, limiting homeowners’ ability to properly benefit from refinancing or re-selling their homes at higher valuations and thereby contributing to the already-sprawling racial wealth gap."

I'm just gonna come out and say it, I think I love Lauren Bobert. She may not have an Ivey League degree or some high society pedigree, but she's got more balls and common sense than most of the male Repub's in Congress. That video was terrific as is the lady who made it.

That goofy giggle that Harris gives is her tell when she’s either in over her head, scared shitless or both.

God help us all with this airhead one heartbeat away from being the next POTUS

It seems everything w the biden administration is fake and a lie

A journalist, who said she was with the Spanish-language network Univision, told Vice President Kamala Harris that she voted for her and President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election during a press conference in Mexico.

The journalist, who went by Maria Fernanda and claimed to be with Univision, was called on by Harris’s team during a press conference in Mexico City, Mexico, on Tuesday.

Before asking Harris a question, Fernanda said:

Thank you, Madame Vice President. For me, it’s an honor because I actually got to vote for the first time as a naturalized citizen and I voted for you.

BUT,

Soon after the press conference, President of News for Univision in the United States Daniel Coronell wrote in a statement that Fernanda is not associated with Univision and does not work for the network.

“Let it be clear to everyone that Ms. Maria Fernanda Reyes is not part of this media organization.”

I'd say this is unbelievable, but its really not. As you noted, 'everything' about this administration is a blatant fabrication. Can you imagine the media feeding frenzy if it had been determined that Trump and crew had planted someone in the press core like this? It would have been 24/7 fire and brimstone on every channel and website. Early prediction for next week....Biden is going to get completely annihilated when he's overseas meeting with foreign leaders.

Hunter Biden addressed his white lawyer as 'n***a' multiple times, used phrases like 'true dat n***a' and bantered 'I only love you because you're black,' in shocking texts unearthed days after Joe's emotional Tulsa speech decrying racism

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...t-messages-show.html

Text messages obtained by DailyMail.com reveal Hunter Biden used the n-word multiple times in banter with his lawyer
The president's son, 51, flippantly addressed corporate attorney George Mesires, who is white, by the racial slur, with phrases including 'true dat n***a'

In a December 2018 conversation, Hunter asked Mesires: 'How much money do I owe you. Becaause (sic) n***a you better not be charging me Hennessy rates.'

In another chat a month later, Hunter cracked jokes about his penis and then told Mesires 'I only love you because you're black'

'It's so annoying when you interject with frivolity,' the Chicago lawyer replied
The damning texts have emerged just days after his father, President Joe Biden gave a speech decrying racism on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre

Biden has sought to portray racial justice as a top priority for his administration
Hunter also saved a meme with a photo of his father hugging Barack Obama with a caption describing a joke conversation
'Obama: Gonna miss you, man Joe: Can I say it? Just this once? Obama: *sigh* go ahead Joe: You my n***a, Barack'
